Title: Innovations by Jean-Francois Latapie
Introduction
Jean-Francois Latapie is a notable inventor based in Roquettes, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of internal combustion engine technology, holding three patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
Latapie's latest patents include an electronic device designed to receive an ignition signal from an internal combustion engine. This device briefly enables an 'anti-pinging' vibration detector, which controls the ignition timing to advance the generated ignition signal in each cycle. The timing is adjusted based on the engine's speed of rotation, ensuring optimal performance. The device features a first stage that supplies a 'detector enabling' signal, which defines the start of the 'detector active' signal with a specific time shift. Additionally, a second stage generates a 'detector disabling' signal that defines the finish of the 'detector active' signal, allowing for precise control over ignition timing.
Another significant patent focuses on an ignition timing device that avoids pinging during engine operation. This device includes a vibration detector that responds to engine vibrations and comparison means to determine when the output signal exceeds a base noise output value. The system is designed to control ignition timing based on the angular position of the crankshaft, allowing for individual cylinder adjustments to prevent pinging.
